Abstract
A fall detection system is vital for the safety of older people, as it contacts emergency services when it detects a person has fallen. There have been various approaches to detect falls, such as using a single tri-axial accelerometer to detect falls or fixing sensors on the walls of a room to detect falls in a particular area. These approaches have two major drawbacks: either (i) they use a single sensor, which is insufficient to detect falls, or (ii) they are attached to a wall that does not detect a person falling outside its region. Hence, to provide a robust method for detecting falls, the proposed approach uses three different sensors for fall detection, which are placed at five different locations on the subject’s body to gather the data used for training purposes. The UMAFall dataset is used to attain sensor readings to train the models for fall detection. Five models are trained corresponding to the five sensors models, and a majority voting classifier is used to determine the output. Accuracy of 93.5%, 93.5%, 97.2%, 94.6%, and 93.1% is achieved on each of the five sensors models, and 92.54% is the overall accuracy achieved by the majority voting classifier. The XAI technique called LIME is incorporated into the system in order to explain the model’s outputs and improve the model’s interpretability.
